General Conference Ideas

I really love General Conference. There was a time I didn't appreciate the amazing learning experience at the feet of apostles and prophets.
Now, I have a notebook just for conference weekends where I can write down thoughts and quotes and inspiration. I've tried to set the example for my children by sitting through all sessions and taking notes. One rule I had when they were younger was they had to listen to the prophet every time he spoke. Now I expect them to be in the room or in listening range of all speakers.
There are a lot of great ideas on how to get more out of the talks and/or keep the little ones occupied and learning as well.



I found a blog that had a great idea of coming up with a list of questions and posting them on a wall. Then with prayer and listening to conference, finding the answers and writing them down. I love this engaging idea! I think we are going to try it this weekend.


What other ideas are out there?

HOME by Phillip Phillips

I don't know why this song has been stuck in my head lately. I love it. It reminds me of a loving parent reassuring a child. Or a loving Heavenly Father telling us we are not alone. He is making a home for us to return to. Settle down, it will all be clear.
Don't pay attention to the demons. 
Trouble might drag you down. 
If you get lost, you can always be found.





Hold on, to me as we go.
As we roll down this unfamiliar road.
And although this wave is stringing us along.
Just know you’re not alone,
Cause I’m going to make this place your home.

Settle down, it'll all be clear.
Don't pay no mind to the demons,
They fill you with fear.
The trouble it might drag you down.
If you get lost, you can always be found.

Just know you’re not alone,
Cause I’m going to make this place your home.

Settle down, it'll all be clear.
Don't pay no mind to the demons,
They fill you with fear.
The trouble it might drag you down.
If you get lost, you can always be found.

Just know you’re not alone,
Cause I’m going to make this place your home.

Settle down, it'll all be clear.
Don't pay no mind to the demons.
They fill you with fear.
The trouble it might drag you down,
If you get lost you can always be found.

just know you're not alone,
Cause I'm gonna make this place your home.
